Research confirms that the LQBTQ community carries a disproportionate burden of cancer, has distinctive risk factors, and faces additional barriers to accessing health care. There is both greater cancer incidence and more late-stage diagnoses in this population. By participating in events like Pride, we can assist members of this community in fighting back against a disease that takes such a terrible toll on them. Here are some resources to aid in this effort.
